Hello to everybody from another newbie noob...i really like this forum and the folks who participate to make it what it is...thanks and i hope i can contribute something quality to the community...I purchased my first 919 in March of this year...it's a 2007 and it had 589 miles on it...still shaking my head about that...I had it shipped on a car carrier from somewhere near Dallas Tx to Harlan Ky...it was in such pristine condition that it stopped all my worries...its October and my cool new bike has 7200 miles on it...needless to say I have enjoyed this bike and plan to for a very long time...I have owned many different motorcycles over the 35 years i have been riding and this is without a doubt one of my favorites...the twisty's in my backyard are of the finest in the country...3 hours from the dragon...I am so very happy....best to you all

Thank you all for the welcomes...they are much appreciated...and K1w1boy she looked like she came out of a glass case...i mean she really looked brand new..these are the best pics i have at the moment nd4spdbh...not that great as im not a big camera guy... i do have some more somewhere i will post when i find them.......the previous owner bought two bikes from the dealership in tx where i purchased her...he ended up riding the other bike but neglected the poor 919...he did keep her dealership serviced thankfully (received all the maint. records...woot!! ) ...he finally traded in early this year and i found my way to her on cycletrader around late march...lucked out this time!... took about two weeks to close the deal and start riding.......... I paid 6 large plus ky taxes...ouch ....anyway thanks again for all the decent replys...look forward to being part of the group...
